    so if someone buys platinum travel package and buys it for three people to go and purchase it in the first 2-3 minutes he would probably have 1-5 row and a very good section??????
    Best seats always go for the presale, but yes, you´ll get good seats if you buy a platinum.

    Do I remember? I still have the nightmares. All that un necessary clicking for something so overpriced. I'm really hoping platinum doesn't go over €1300.

    They made a rookies mistake, hopefully things will run smoother in July 12.

    LegendKiller, we got morning madness. And Kane has just said, it was a nightmare to checkout. And I think this year will be similar, I don´t like the WWE shop website at all... I´ll have my fax ready just in case I need it ;)

    lets hope so...people who did buy platinum packages last year were screwed over by wwe,Raw tickets with this years packages is a bonus tho :cool: which means 4 nights in the hotel well i do hope so

    4 nights hotel & Raw tix thrown in sounds like the perfect package, I just hope the price won't sky rocket. I'm a lazy person, buying all of this stuff in one click is awesome, but the price for last years was a bit much for what was given.

    I hope not as my parents gave me the good news at 2 am that they are going to loan me the money to attend my first ever one. It made this 31 year old man cry like a baby. Because this is something I never thought I get to do in my lifetime.

    Just a review of last year's prices in Phx so that maybe we can kinda guesstimate what we're looking at come July 12th. I got the single silver pkg last year, but this year I have a cousin going with me to lighten the blow on the 'ol wallet. With Raw tix and an extra night, its a little difficult to wage how much WWE thinks they're worth.

    For me it wasn't really overpriced since I got triple platinum so paid $1350 per each one and not $1895. If you got a platinum and get 6th row, yeah will be overpriced, but if you get front row sure no one will say it's overpriced :)

    I think this year will be around $200 more with the extra night and raw ticket...

    If anything the packages should come down in price, but it was the single platinum that seemed overpriced, grouped packages seemed fair enough. I've a feeling they'll increase yet again & I'll be looking at over €1500, is it too much too ask that we get Raw & a 4th night in the hotel, but for a reduced price?

    I don't think so. Hell, they'd get the difference with the sometimes dumb and pointless purchases we all make on these weekends. I know i always wind up with more things than actually needed. Kind of an "in the moment" type thing i guess.

    I'm one for impulse purchases. I remember at Axxess this year I spent around $300 in 5 minutes. It's all worth it though.

    WWE should do the things right and let everybody knows what seats they're getting. If it's bought via Internet like last year I don't see the point of not letting you know what you're getting.

    Yeah I don't know why the hell they do that! Sometimes they don't look as professional as they claim to be. Kane last year you had a problem
    when you tried to enter into your account to pay it, or with the checkout?

    I got as far as the check out I think, but no dice. Tried 10+ tmes but to no avail. Then I was depressed for a week. I think packages are way more fun to get.

    Just hope they announce the hotel names again this year. That will be the determining factor if I get a package. If the hotel is within walking distance of Mania I'll go for it, if not I'll prob book seperately again.

    Those single packages are an outrageous price It's a very high price for what is still a gamble on seats, yes there are still crap $750 seats

    If you book direct with WWE for that kind of money you should be getting best of the best

    I totally agree, I can't understand how they can give an 9th row to a platinum package holder and anyone can buy front row at the general sale...

    doesnt anyone has a video on youtube from the whole experience???also from each section how may rows are in each section???
    I think ive understand how the rows go on package!!!The first 20 buyers of the package get front row from 20-40 2nd row 40-60 3rd row 60-80 4th row 80-100 5th row.... and i say this because Kane got platinum travel package and said he was the 78th customer that purchased platinum travel package.Maybe the thing I said is not correct but who knows...?(about how many platinum travel packages are bought during presale you think?)

    I was front row at WM25, and it was bought as a triple platinum package. I didn't buy it, the package was bought by some friends, people of we hate cena tees you always see in front row, and one of them couldn't go to Houston so I bought his ticket.

    I don't know how WWE works it, but I doubt is like you say because yeah, Kane got Bill nr 78, but it doesn't mean seat 78, since many people is getting triple and even for 4 people packages so if they sell 5 packages for 4 people front row will be complete with just 5 packages. And there are platinum package holders in more than one section... Be sure at presale at least 7 or 8 rows of the TV side will be sold for sure.
